Question :

Is it valid to share in the 'aqīqah by contributing a seventh share of a camel or cow?


The Answer :

All praise is due to Allah, and may peace and blessings be upon our Master, the Messenger of Allah.


Yes, it is permissible. If a group of people jointly share in the slaughter of a camel or a cow on behalf of seven individuals, this is valid — regardless of whether all of them intend the 'aqīqah, or some intend the 'aqīqah, others the uḍḥiyyah, and others simply the purchase of meat. And Allah Almighty knows best.
